<p>I write for and publish for DOCS, and I have loved Oblast from Canada, which is part lit zine, part perzine (<a href="http://365zines.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">365zines.blogspot.com/</a>), and the Moralist from Norfolk, VA, (gagglebooks@gmail.com) which is a poetry zine. Both of these are so moving and amazing that I hope someone out there seeks them out. I have reviews up on my tumblr - <a href="http://docszine.tumblr.com" target="_blank">docszine.tumblr.com</a></p>

<p>I've never tried to get published. But since 1984 I've put out my own stories in a little gazette.</p>
<p>I'd love to trade gazettes with people.</p>
<p>I'd also like to talk literature and stuff on-line.</p>

<p>I make one-shot lit zines. Kind of a hybrid of personal stuff and fiction, but always with heavy attention to the literary merit of the writing. Titles so far: <em>I Have a Song For You</em>, <em>Potentially Heartwrenching Distractions</em>. I'm working on my newest one right now, <em>Further Distractions</em>.</p>

<p>I think that zines with literary merit are an increasingly struggling breed. It is disheartening to me because what intrigued me about zines as a teenager was the simple act of DIY publications giving more opportunities to writers with less orthodox methods, NOT how peaved at THE MAN you are or how many girls you shake your fist at. Or frankly, anything of that sort. It is not obscenity and vulgarity alone that created RAW prose, its the fucking themes that touch on that rawness that earns…</p>

It is disheartening to me because what intrigued me about zines as a teenager was the simple act of DIY publications giving more opportunities to writers with less orthodox methods, NOT how peaved at THE MAN you are or how many girls you shake your fist at. Or frankly, anything of that sort. It is not obscenity and vulgarity alone that created RAW prose, its the fucking themes that touch on that rawness that earns you literary merit. Get it? And that does not mean I do not enjoy obscene writing, I mean, I own at least two copies of W.S. Burroughs' "Naked Lunch". You can make pornography have literary merit if you got the what to do it, and I cannot say exactly what THAT what is, but it either has it or it doesn't.</p>
<p>Does any one remember, "Smoke: a London Peculiar"? or even, "The Loins Mouth"? This is taken from Smoke's page for submitting, in the advice for poets section, and I think just about any budding writer can use it...</p>

<p><span>Explicit and gratuitous sex, or use of drugs, is very pleasant in real life, but in unsolicited poems just makes us feel queasy. And, please bear in mind that if you blatantly CC your submission to every place this side of the Atlantic, giving full biography and list of works, it gives the impression that it does not endear you, and generally just makes you look like a bit of twit. </span></p>

<p>I write one called Twenty-Four Hours, although, it's been more online for the last couple months. My favorite ones are: <a href="http://neverhaveparis.blogspot.com" target="_blank">We'll Never Have Paris</a>, and anything by <a href="http://www.littlegardencomics.com" target="_blank">Darryl Ayo</a> (even though he's a comic artist.

<p>I just started a zine called Slanted &amp; Enchanted. It's a semi-fantasy piece set to classic indie rock, romance, vandalism, and old school Japanese sentai shows. I plan on writing Slanted &amp; Enchanted a series to take me through the next couple years. I've got a couple story arcs laid out. The first issue's all cut up, pasted, and xeroxed, and I'm currently working on the second volume. If anyone wants a copy or wants to trade, lemme know :)</p>

<p>I am a huge fan of Burn Collector, Cometbus, Dream Whip... Yeah, I kinda agree with you. The best literary zines are perzines. Every now and again, I'll come across a poetry or fiction zine that blows my mind. Torre Sathrum, this guy from Seattle, did one... This cool chick from Jersey City, Lola, does Beastie Girl... We'll Never Have Paris, one that I submit to a lot, is very great. Maybe the best.</p>

<p>I do one called Twenty-Four Hours (<a href="http://twentyfourhourszine.blogspot.com/">http://twentyfourhourszine.blogspot.com</a>) which lately has been more focussed on interviews/profiles, but we are trying to get back to memoir and poetry/drama.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As far as the blog/zine convo, I think that they can co-exist very peacfully, and actually help each other. My two cents.</p>

<p>Hope you are still writing! ---Josh</p>
